Hi all just thought i’d pop in to say hi Emerald Creek was released the other day and is already SOLD out, I am really sorry if you missed out, seems that Boy kits are popular ! I do take subscriptions though if you were interested in a kit for 6 months , and no more missing out, you get a 5% discount off each kit .
Here are two pages made by me ( Bridgette Hatton) they are girl pages using boy ranges, and i really really like them
This first page is my Buddy Jackie and i with a few wines under our belt, we were taking selfies, and out of about 15 shots this one was the best ! rosy cheeks and glassy eyed

This next one has lots of texture, i have used Muslin for the background which gives my LO a nice winter feel . This is me in m y winter hat, i just love winter fashion, Long boots , lots of layers scarves and hats !

Here is a close up

Thanks for visiting
I will be back within the next couple of days to share a sketch with you .
Have a great day

Hi All, How are we all coping with the weather changes ?? Brrr it is so Cold where i live at the moment, I am very grateful for my Brother Aiden who installed our lovely new roof because right now it is pouring with rain and we do not have to stress anymore PHEW!! ah the joys of extending

Well it’s that time again where we get to show off another kit for you, this kit is called Apple Blossom Place we have a few boy colours this time around nice blues and green and reds, oh how i love red I try to choose colours that can be used for both boy or girl pages, this sometimes gets a bit hard as there are so many papers out there that are made especially for that girl or boy range.but this time i think i got it there are lots of handmade embellishments that will make your page unique, My favourite embellishment in this kit are the little hand made flags as well as the little yellow bicycle die cut .

Of course you want to see some examples right?? Leeann and I have been busy playing with Apple Blossom Place , oh we have had such fun, I wanted to bring a few boy colours into this kit for all of you who have little boys in your life, but because leeann and I only have girls well you still get to see a girly look to our pages, but i promise you soon you will see boy pages when Shell shows us her pages .
Actually i do tell a small lie! we have a new little boy in our life and that is our new little kitten Archie here is a page on him at 6 weeks old awwww he is a cutie !!
Archie @ 6 weeks


I have had this photo for a couple of years now, i just love the way my little miss is looking down, she was spending some time with her nanny

This next page “On this day”is made by Miss Leeann and is simply stunning, I love the way she has put her photo over the circle, I also love the way she has given her basic grey letters a bit of texture by stamping on them, check out all of her texture yummy !

and here is a close up

This next one, “You and Me” is also devine and probably my favourite, I love the way leeann has placed her flags and the way she has used her frames.
There is always so much texture on Leeann’s pages, check out the way she has made her banner using half of the MME die cut, too clever, it’s just lovely..

Close up

Hi polka dot fans… today I wanted to share with you 3 pages that I have created with the kit so far…

…this first one is my take on Michelle’s sketch for the polka dot kit this month…

I know we all would love to see lots of takes on the sketch so come on in and join the fun. Use the April kit “bliss terrace” or use your own supplies and get scrapping.

“collect”…jorja on her first egg hunt!

…this next one is all about my miss holly who’s just turned nine this moth and she still loves to play with her dolls…. that makes me happy… still my little girl!

“she…

… I did something a little different this time with my title and journaling… I decide to hide it… so i cut a matt a little bigger than my photo and stitch the edges of the matt and also photo – I then just place the photo on the3 matt and stitched straight across the top a couple of times. punched a tag out and adhered  to the bottom of the photo… and added some doodling borders to the matt and also my title and journaling.

..and this last one is all about miss jorja lov’in

“sweets treats”

… I might just add that I just adore the pop out flower by sassafras.

Here’s how I used them – I actually cut the fold tabs off so they are all  single blooms/ leaves I then outline in a black gel pen and then I add 3D  tape and arrange  and scrunch the edges.

…OK that’s it from me for now…

thanks for popping by Leeann xxx

hello…how are you all going…. i hope you are loving this kit…it’s totally yummy don’t yay think?

anyways i wanted to share with you some of the embellishments i made using the supplies in the kit. and maybe you could give it ago yourself.

“Crate Paper Rosette”

Step1:  Cut a 1.5inch strip from some crate paper. Use a 1 3/8 inch circle punch and punch circle out from scraps.

Step2: Unroll  and tie a knot at one end.

Step 3: Start wrapping and twisting thew crate paper around the knot.

Step 4: Once you get close to the end use a little glue to hole the end.

Step 5: Now take a look at both sides of the rosette. adhere the punched circle to the bum that has the deepest hole.

step 6:  Now just embellish it.

- detail of the crate paper rosette from “messing about”…

“quick and easy coordinating chipboard buttons”

Step 1: Adhere scrappy leftovers to some chipboard.

Step 2: Use a mixture of punches and punch out.

Step 3: Use a hole punch and punch out your button holes.

Step 4: Now scrap them and use twine or wool or even a thicker embroidery thread in the hole to finish them off.

 

Thanks for popping by I will of course share a couple more easy peasy tips and techniques next week from my other 2 pages.

until them  I hope you will give this ago  and make sure you share with us… we would love to see.

 

Thanks Leeann Pearce xxx
